finite_gamepad_key_down

Note

finite_gamepad_key_down was added in v0.7.0

The finite_gamepad_key_down returns whether a given FiniteGamepadKey is being pressed.

bool finite_gamepad_key_down(int id, FiniteShell *shell,  FiniteGamepadKey key)

Parameters

Type	Description
int id	The id of the gamepad to get input from
FiniteShell *shell	The FiniteShell that the gamepad belongs to.
FiniteGamepadKey key	The FiniteGamepadKey to check the state of

Code Example

#include <finite/draw.h>
#include <finite/input.h>

FiniteShell *myShell = finite_shell_init("wayland-0");

if (!myShell) {
    FINITE_LOG_FATAL("Unable to init shell");
}

bool withGP = finite_gamepad_init(myShell);
myShell->canHomeMenu = false;

if (!withGP) {
    FINITE_LOG_ERROR("Can't poll controller data");
}

if (finite_gamepad_key_valid(FINITE_BTN_A)) {
    FINITE_LOG("A btn is valid");
}


while (wl_display_dispatch(myShell->display) != -1) {
    if (finite_gamepad_key_down(0, myShell, FINITE_BTN_A)) {
        FINITE_LOG("A btn down");
    }
}

Standard Usage

Developers should ALWAYS call finite_gamepad_key_valid to verify a FiniteGamepadKey’s existence in the internal finite_key_lookup table. Just because an enum exists does not mean that the evdev code for that input option is present.
